Watching your baby develop is one of the real privileges of being a parent. When your baby is born, he or she seems to be a small, defenseless creature that needs constant care and attention. Yet in no time, your baby has grown strong enough to start crawling, then walking, and begins to utter sounds that quickly evolve into speech. In just a few years, you have a child that is capable and learning constantly, and amazing you with their knowledge every day. The science of baby and child development has been with us for a long time but is still advancing as we discover new things by piecing together observations. Although babies and children develop at different rates, the pattern is very similar across everyone, and the variation in time is surprisingly little! Although you may marvel that some of your friends' babies may seem ahead of your own, if you look objectively you'll notice that your child can do other things that those babies can't yet. Remember that all the activities in ToucanLearn are presented at the point at which your baby should be able to undertake them, and that they are designed to push the capabilities of your baby in a methodical way.
